What it is	This program teaches you to manage technology projects and systems within business settings, combining business strategy with hands-on IT knowledge. Unlike a pure computer science degree, you focus on how organizations actually use and implement technology rather than deep coding or programming. The built-in co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real professional experience before you graduate — a fit for students who want practical experience early and a blend of business and tech rather than specializing in either alone.	You study how to manage technology within business organizations — combining business strategy, IT systems, and hands-on management skills. Unlike a pure computer science or business degree, this program focuses specifically on the intersection: how companies implement and lead technology projects. It suits people who want to work in tech-related roles but prefer understanding the business and people side over deep programming.	You study the design, development, and theory behind computer programs and systems — from artificial intelligence and game design to information management. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your classes, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about how software and systems actually work in practice.
